Dewey Aims Blow at PAC and $1,000 Club
Gov. Thomas E. Dewey, en route to Boston for a major speech, attacks the CIO PAC and the One Thousand Club while defending his record and urging two terms for the presidency. He criticizes Roosevelt promises as useless and promises a postwar program focused on full employment, tax reform, farm price support, and tighter anti monopoly measures. A Buffalo rally earlier drew about 18,000 as Dewey declared leadership must change. The piece also notes Ohio Bell toll-rate authorization for Thanksgiving Sunday hours.
